Chapter 1 Features and Basic Setups
This chapter introduces the features and usage of the P7 barcode scanner.
1.1 Battery
The P7 barcode scanner is powered by 2600mAh chargeable Lithium batteries. If you use the red
light auto-off mode, the barcode scanner can work 107 hours continuously under 433MHz
wireless mode, when it can read 192,600 barcodes (read a barcode Code 128 every 2s).
1.1.1
To recharge
To recharge the barcode scanner, please use the USB cable included, and connect the barcode
scanner to the USB port of a working computer or a 5V charger. When the barcode scanner is
being recharged, the red LED indicator is on. It goes off when the barcode scanner is fully
recharged.
1.1.2
Auto Sleep Mode
In order to save energy, users can specify the time interval for the scanner to automatically turn
off. The default one is 3 minutes.
（*）Enable Auto-sleep mode
Exit Auto-sleep mode
Set 1 min to be auto-off
（*）Set 3 min to be auto-off
Set 5 min to be auto-off
Set 10 min to be auto-off

13
Eg. Steps to set 5 minutes for the scanner to be automatically turn off are as below.
1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode;
2. Read the “Set 5 min to be auto-off”;
3. Read the "Exit with Save" barcode.
Tips: If you want to keep the scanner being powered on all the time, scan "Exit Auto Sleep
mode" barcode instead of step 2.
Enter setup
Exit with Save
1.1.3 Battery Level Display
Scan the "Battery Level Display" barcode (there is no need to scan "Enter setup" barcode), the
battery level will display on the device connected with the P7.
Battery Level Display
1.2 Data Buffer
P7 adopts 32Mb memory as its data buffer. Upon reading a barcode successfully, the P7 scanner
will upload the data to the computer/phone if the receiver is within the transmission range, then
the scanner will respond with one short beep (high tone) and the green LED indicator will flash
once. If the receiver is out of the transmission range, all the data scanned will be stored in the
buffer, the P7 will respond with two short beeps (tone from high to low) and the blue LED
indicator will flash once. When the buffer is full, the P7 will respond with a long beep (high tone)
to remind that the space of the buffer is not enough and cannot store any more barcodes. The
user should return to the transmission range quickly to upload the scanned data to
computer/phone. Then, the space of buffer can be released.
Note: The 32 Mb memory can store up to 13-character 270,000 barcodes.
You can enable/disable Clear Data in Buffer when turn on the barcode scanner.
Enable Clear Data in Buffer When the
scanner was turned on

14
（*）Disable Clear Data in Buffer When
the scanner was turned on
When the connection is completed, it is necessary to double click the trigger if you want to
upload the data to computer as the data in the buffer won’t be uploaded automatically. You can
also set whether to upload the data automatically by scanning the following barcodes. The
default is “Disable Auto Uploading Buffer Data”.
If you want to upload the data in buffer automatically after successful connection, please set
“Enable Auto Uploading Buffer Data”.
Enable Auto Uploading Buffer Data
（*）Disable Auto Uploading Buffer Data
Enter setup
Exit with save
1.2.1 Inventory Mode
If you want to keep the scanned result in the buffer of the barcode scanner, you can choose
inventory mode. In inventory mode, Inateck P7 will count the number of the barcodes
automatically. Users may use inventory mode to keep scanned barcodes in the buffer of Inateck
P7, and upload them to computer in batches. Under inventory mode, users are not restricted to
the time and location when upload data. Of course, history data can be cleared in buffer after
uploading. More details about inventory mode are as below.
1) Scan the “Enter Inventory Mode” barcode to enter Inventory Mode
Enter Inventory Mode

15
2) Scan the barcode to return to Common Mode
（*）Common Mode
3) Scan the barcode to clear data in buffer (for Inventory Mode only).

1.6 Scanning Modes
Four kinds of scanning modes are supported by the Inateck P7 Barcode Scanner, including red
light auto-off mode, continuous scanning mode, manual mode, and hands-free mode.
1.6.1 Red Light Auto-off Mode
By default, the scanning mode is set to Red Light Auto-off Mode. If the user presses the Scanning
Trigger, the red light would be turned on. If a barcode is not successfully scanned, the red light
will be off automatically after red light auto-off waiting time, which usually defaults to 2 seconds
and can be set to 1s, 2s, 3s and 5s. Yet the red light will be off soon if Inateck P7 scans a barcode.
（*）Red Light Auto-off Mode
Setup red light auto-off waiting time
1s
（*）2s
3s
5s
50s

19
E.g.: To set the scanning mode to Red Light Auto-off mode and set the Red Light auto-off waiting
time to 1s, you need to:
1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode;
2. Read the "Red Light Auto-off Mode” barcode;
3. Read the “Setup Auto laser-off waiting time” barcode;
4. Read the “1s” barcode;
5. Read the “Exit with Save” barcode.
1.6.2 Continuous Scanning Mode
There’s no need to press the scanning trigger in this mode, As the red light of the scanner will be
on and the scanner will enter into scanning mode automatically.
The red light of the scanner will not go off until Inateck P7 scans a barcode. And the laser will go
off once the scanner scans barcode successfully. And then the scanner will go into waiting mode,
in which the waiting time (also known as intermittent time of continuous scanning), usually
defaults to 2 seconds, and can be set to 400ms, 800ms,1s,2s,3s,5s, 10s and 15s.
The red light of the scanner will be on again once the waiting time is over. It will only go off when
the scanner scans a barcode successfully. And it will go back and forth like this.

Example of setting the scanner into Continuous Scanning mode and setting the Intermittent time
to 1s:
1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode;
2. Read the "Continuous Scanning Mode" barcode;
3. Read the "Setup Intermittent time of Continuous scanning " barcode;
4. Read the “1s” barcode;
5. Read the "Exit with Save" barcode.
Note: The factory default value for each setting is indicated by an asterisk "*".
